Ashley Tisdale Honored at Hollywood's New Leaders Awards

Though she may be best known for "High School Musical," Ashley Tisdale was honored at Variety's Hollywood's New Leaders 2012 awards in West Hollywood on Monday night (October 29).

The 27-year-old star accepted the award with business partner Jessica Rhoades, who joins her with their production company, Blondie Girl.

According to Variety, "Whether it's the ability to shepherd a new show thorugh the labyrinths of the studio or network systems all the way to greenlight status, or to find investors for a project, the rising generation needs to be able to deal with creative types as well as moneymen and get them to speak the same language even though the world around them rapidly changes. Variety presents this year's list of Hollywood's New Leaders, the men and women who will be steering this industry in the years ahead."

Sharing the evening with Twitter followers, Ashley retweeted Jessica's photo of the two with the comment, "Toasting to variety's New Leaders with @ashleytisdale. Such a fun night with fantastic people."
